• Activated carbon filter: The active carbon filter reduces escaping gases and lowers the formation of soot if a battery fire occurs.
• Tested under real conditions: During tests with burning and exploding batteries, no flames escaped and the outer shell of the battery.case P908.08 remained constantly below 100°C.

When to use P903 and P908

Use the case according to the applicable transport regulation:

• P903 – intact lithium batteries and accumulators: Follow the application instructions, use the foam to protect the battery and adapt the foam to the battery. Fire bags are not required; protect batteries from short circuits and, if necessary, follow further specifications and detailed operating instructions.
• P908 – defective lithium batteries and accumulators: The case is suitable for a defective battery declared unsafe, a deformed or inflated battery, degassed or burnt-out cells, melted plastic parts or connections, a detectable strange gas smell, BMS-detected defective cells, and batteries with damaged casing. Follow the corresponding instructions for handling and transport.

Practical design and handling

The battery.case P908.08 combines practical details for everyday use with safety features. The pre-punched cube foam inside the case can be easily adapted to any battery type to ensure a secure hold during transport.
